Architects, cartoonists of the construction industry in my experience. You gotta work on time and materials for those guys ,then its ok.
You better watch that Mammoet machine closely Crane Operator you might be tempted anyhow, cranes always seem to go dirt cheap at Ritchies in Chilliwack .

Somebody hacked the trusses like that on my house they sure would see my temper. I don't care whose fault it was, I'd would absolutely insist on new trusses.

Couldn't make my last monday job. They called before I got there- "houston- we have a problem"
Blown out on inner sidewall, tire shop had me a tire on wed. morning. Scheduled to do the job on Thursday instead of monday. One of my guys went and helped the tire man with installing new tire, when he got back to the shop "Why did you have them put a bias ply on?" Houston- we have another problem.
Tire man got a Radial in on the thursday truck, tree trimmers don't work on friday- so job ended put off a week. Sometimes it's like that.
Second job is some shingles on a house, the regular shingle delivery truck was down, and they had a trailer in the way in the driveway. The roofer wanted the shingles all over on the house, I informed him that he wasn't getting that with the crane I brought (Have I mentioned how weak boom trucks are?) Anyways, he complained about carrying them, I cranked that the house was too far away from the road and the yard was super soft. Nobody was happy.

Beams on a deck / and a ridge beam. Its a big house, 10-12,000 sq ft. or so. 4 story tower in the one corner. The foundation was put in in 2007 or so, and the original house was framed but never finished when 2008 recession came.
That house rotted away and was torn down, and new house on the old foundation.

New chillers at a school.
Had to sneak across some sidewalks and through the playground, so took the galion.

Around two 90 deg corners down a 10' sidewalk, galion with rear steer comes in handy.
Addition to a school cafeteria, push is on- supposed to be done when school starts and I was hanging bar joists....

Big old oak tree. Cabin has been there a long long time. It won't be in the shade any more. Old tree was solid all the way down.

Had to get a little creative setting up. Took some steel mats and some extra wood along to get set up. We've actually been putting this job off since march. It rained every time we tried to do it this spring, and I told them it had to be dry to get on the hill. Then the RT was off on another job for a month in June, then the flat tire lost me a week. Didn't think I was ever going to get that tree down.
Last one is a momma and bambi in the shop yard. Little one is really small yet, still in all its spots.

Sidewall on that tire did not look so flexible anymore, may want to check the rest of them if have gotten so less than flexible as could leave you stranded somewhere!!
Always something with crane service, expect the world from you in mud muck mire or steep cliffs!!!

Crane Operator could easily win contests for optical illusions with his pics. Whether it looks like the boom is sitting on a building or the RT looks ready to topple over.

Is the generator on the RT only there for the window AC? and the propane for a heater?

Yes- Generator for the a/c, and the propane does the heater and the generator. I'll never own a gas generator again, LP is the only way to go.

Getting a little work done on the counterweight truck. Front tag axle had been shifted off center, so old u-bolts out and pushed back, new u-bolts. Got a little frame added on to hold the flatbed, now just need the back axle mounted.
Went back to the school job and installed the HVAC units with the galion.

Got three concrete boxes set, one under the power lines, one in a ditch, the last one across the creek and through the trees. Galion and the old ford flatbed to haul them.

Remember the framers that destroyed the rafter tails? They can't read plans either. Garage walls were 2' too short. Trusses all on and valleys filled, most of the sheeting on. Two girders and roof running two directions.
Sure I can pick the whole garage roof off- it might all turn to matchsticks, but I can pick it up.
Had them do a bunch of bracing inside, and sawzall the perimeter before I showed up. Picked better than I thought it would. I brought the gooseneck so I'd have something to set it on while they added the pony walls on.
